Athletic career

First steps and participation in the Winter Olympics

Anton Schipulin drew attention to himself in the 2007/08 season at the Junior World Championship and Junior European Championship with his good performances and medal wins. Because of these achievements, he was included in the Russian A-squad for the 2008/09 season and made his debut on January 10, 2009 in Oberhof in the World Cup. At the European Biathlon Championships in Ufa Schipulin was able to win two bronze medals, first in the sprint and at the end of the competitions with the relay team consisting of Vitaly Norizyn , Schipulin, Schreider and Vasiliev . In the individual, he missed a medal because of two shooting errors in the last standing stop and was fourth. In 2010 Anton Schipulin took part in the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver and won the bronze medal in the relay. In his individual starts he came in 30th place in the sprint, 20th place in the pursuit and 36th place in the individual. Schipulin finished 22nd in the mass start.

First World Cup victory (2010/11)

In the 2010/11 season started Schipulin with a 19th place in the individual of Östersund . He finished eighth in the sprint and sixth in the pursuit. His first World Cup victory was on January 20, 2011 in the sprint race in Antholz . In the mass start two days later he was third. Anton Schipulin took part in his home world championship in Khanty-Mansiysk . His best individual placement was 21st in the pursuit.

First World Cup medal (2011/12)

In the following season Schipulin was initially unable to match the results of the previous season. His only win of the season was on January 15, 2012 in the pursuit of Nové Město . He celebrated his greatest sporting success so far at the Biathlon World Championships 2012 in Ruhpolding , where he won the bronze medal in the pursuit. He finished the season in eighth place overall in the World Cup.

On the way to Sochi (2012/13)

Schipulin started the Olympic preseason with a 9th place. At the World Cup in Antholz he achieved a double victory in sprint and pursuit. At the World Championships in Nové Mesto, he became the only Russian who could win a medal. After finishing ninth in the sprint, he won bronze in the pursuit - as in the previous year. He took silver in the mass start, and was fourth in the relay. At the end of the season he finished ninth in the overall World Cup ranking.

At the start of the Olympic season, Schipulin took 21st place in the Östersund sprint. Since he had only finished third on the podium once before the Olympic Games in Sochi , Schipulin was initially considered an outsider there.

Olympic success with the relay (2013/14)

In the first race, the sprint, Schipulin finished fourth and only missed the bronze medal by 0.7 seconds against Jaroslav Soukup . After he did not come in the top ten in the other three individual competitions, he became Olympic champion on February 22, 2014 together with Alexei Volkov , Evgeny Ustjugow and Dmitri Malyshko as the final runner of the Russian relay. In the final sprint he prevailed against the German final runner Simon Schempp . At the post-Olympic World Cup in Pokljuka , he scored his only victory in the pursuit this season, which he finished in eighth place overall.

Second in the overall World Cup (2014/15)

Schipulin started the post-Olympic winter 2014/15 with a disappointing 59th place in the Östersund singles . Just three days later, he scored sixth place in the sprint for the first time this season. In the pursuit, he took second place behind Frenchman Martin Fourcade . At the following World Cup in Hochfilzen , he achieved two more good individual results with an eleventh place in the sprint and a fifth place in the pursuit. With the relay he was able to win as the final runner. At the third World Cup in Pokljuka, he won both the sprint and the mass start. He came in second in the pursuit. At the end of the season he won the overall mass start ranking and was able to place second in the overall World Cup ranking behind Martin Fourcade.

Third in the overall World Cup (2015/16)

At the beginning of 2015/16 Schipulin started for the first time in the single mixed relay and reached fifth place with Yekaterina Schumilowa . In Hochfilzen he reached his first podium of the season with a third place in the pursuit. In the following relay race he was able to prevail in the finish sprint against the Norwegian Emil Hegle Svendsen and thus won the relay race. In Pokljuka he again reached third place in the pursuit and in Ruhpolding third place in the individual. In Antholz he was fifth in the sprint and won the subsequent pursuit. That was his only single win of the season. In the relay race, Schipulin was able to prevail again as the final runner and won the finish sprint against the German Schempp. At the two World Cups in North America, he achieved two second and one third place. The World Championships in Oslo did not go as hoped for Schipulin. He couldn't win a medal and only reached the top ten twice in individual races. Schipulin was third in the overall World Cup ranking, behind Martin Fourcade and Johannes Thingnes Bø . In all disciplines he was able to achieve a top ten place for the first time.

Second in the overall World Cup and relay world champion (2016/17)

In the following season Schipulin was able to run on the podium in all three races at the second World Cup in Pokljuka. He finished third in the sprint and in the pursuit and second in the relay. At the third World Cup in Nové Město he was able to improve his individual results and was second in sprint and pursuit. In the first mass start he was only twelfth after 2 penalty loops. Until his fourth place in the pursuit race in Ruhpolding, he could no longer achieve a top ten placement. As in the previous year, he was able to win in Antholz. This time he won the individual and came third in the mass start. At the world championships in Hochfilzen he just missed an individual medal with two fourth places. In the mixed relay race, he was third with the Russian relay. In the men's relay, Alexei Wolkow , Maxim Zwetkow , Anton Babikow and Schipulin prevailed against the other nations and became world champions. At the pre-Olympic competitions in Pyeongchang , he was again second in the pursuit. At the end of the season he achieved his second win of the season in Oslo. After a third place in the sprint in the pursuit, he was able to improve by two places. In the overall World Cup ranking, Schipulin was second behind Martin Fourcade. He was also second in the individual and in the pursuit.

Third in the overall World Cup and suspension at the Olympic Games (2017/18)

Schipulin in Oberhof 2018

He started the 2017/18 season less successfully than in previous years and only achieved his first podium finish in Le Grand-Bornand . In Oberhof and Ruhpolding he could not achieve a top ten result again. In Antholz he was once third and once fourth, but, unlike in previous years, could not win a race.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided in early 2018 that Schipulin would not be allowed to start at the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang . This ban was triggered by the McLaren report .

In the first competition after this break, the sprint in Kontiolahti , he then won his first and only World Cup race of the season, at the end of which he finished third in the top three places in the overall standings for the fourth time in a row.

End of career (2018/19)

In the summer of 2018, Schipulin contracted Pfeiffer glandular fever , which prevented him from doing normal training. Nevertheless, in autumn he announced that he wanted to re-enter the World Cup in January 2019 and that he wanted to continue his career at least until the 2020 World Cup in Antholz , also in order to achieve a world title in an individual discipline for the first time.

Once during the World Cup in Hochfilzen was revealed that Austrian authorities against Anton Schipulin and other Russian biathletes identify these shared on December 25, 2018 his resignation. Four days later he contested his last professional sport race with Jekaterina Jurlowa-Percht at the World Team Challenge in Gelsenkirchen . As a justification, he cited the doping allegations, which he denied in full, and the ban at the 2018 Olympics.

Political activity

At the beginning of 2019 it became known that Anton Schipulin was running as a candidate for the ruling United Russia party in a State Duma by-election in the Serov constituency of Sverdlovsk Oblast . On September 9, 2019, he won the vote with 41.6% of the vote and has been a member of the Russian parliament since then.

Personal

Former biathlete and three-time Olympic champion Anastasiya Kuzmina , who started for Slovakia in 2008, is Schipulin's sister. He is married and his wife gave birth to a son in 2016 and a daughter in 2019. The family lives in Yekaterinburg .
